“Huh?” Jinli was perplexed. She stared at Lu Zhengya, all her thoughts were clearly drawn on her blank face.

I have something that I need to say to you?

Watching her reactions, Lu Zhengya’s face reddened. He was going mad. On multiple occasions, he had to hold his emotions back. Finally, he could not suppress himself any further. Forcefully, he introduced himself, “I’m Lu Zhengya. My name derives from the mighty cliffs and outstanding peaks.”

His random, uncalled-for introduction threw Jinli off so much that she was stunned speechless for a second. Shaking off her befuddlement, she managed to squeeze out a simple ‘Oh’.

From her short, thoughtless response, Lu Zhengya knew she did not fully appreciate the importance of his name. Usually, he never felt the need to flaunt his mighty status. A man of his status must never exhibit such shallow and philistine behaviour. Yet, in front of Jinli, he had started acting like a peacock attracting its mate. He felt the urge to parade everything he was proud of in front of her.

“I am from the Capital’s Lu family.” He proceeded to drop his trump card.

Capital’s Lu Family?

That sounded very familiar. She rummaged through her memories.

Wasnt Lu Qingyuan, who was exploited with Bai Jinli, from the Capital’s Lu family too?

Huh? Are they a family? It can’t be that coincidental right?

In any case, Lu isn’t a very rare surname. There are thousands with the same surname. It can’t be that the only 2 I met are from the same family. Even so, if they are really a family, it has nothing to do with me.

In fact, it was true that there were many families with the name Lu in the Capital. What Jinli was unaware of was that there was only a single-family that could claim the title of the Capital’s Lu Family. Coincidentally, the family head was this man in front of her.

At this point in time, Jinli had no clue why Mr Lu Zhengya would introduce himself this way. Out of courtesy, and more importantly because of his handsome face, she nodded in acknowledgement again, “Oh.”

Lu Zengya’s fist tightened in disbelief.

I have said so much and left so many clues. How is she still so calm and composed? Don’t tell me she really doesn’t know of the Capital’s Lu Family?

Unwilling to give up, he pushed further, “In this country, there aren’t many people whose wealth and power can compare to mine.” With that said, he looked confidently at Jinli.

Jinli was unimpressed. More than that, she got more and more confused. She really could not follow this Mr Lu’s train of thoughts.

Randomly pestering me, and now spouting a bunch of nonsense. What is he trying to do? Is he… trying to show off to me?

Jinli’s eyes squinted at him, and she probed, “Oh wow! So you are a man with a lot of power?” Her perfunctory tone was painfully obvious.

Sensing her monotony, Lu Zhengya was dumfounded. How was she indifferent to everything he was proud of? He finally understood why Bai Yan had had such a pained expression when he returned from meeting Jinli. Right at this moment, he also felt the same complex emotions swirling within.

His head shook as he stared at this difficult woman. At the start, meeting Jinli had been out of boredom and annoyance. Now that he had met her in person, her beauty had thrown his hatred and thirst for revenge into oblivion.

Hmm… Looking at her in person, her beauty really cannot be encapsulated fully on paper. Maybe I’m hallucinating, or maybe it was due to the drugs. But looking at her now, she’s stunningly gorgeous compared to before.

Also… more bewitching.

Subconsciously, his flames of hatred and anger were dowsed. In its place was birthed a white-hot sinister flame.

“Jinli,” Lu Zhengya called out in a low, gruff voice.

“What?” Jinli snapped. Her lack of patience and annoyance bled through with her every word.

“Be mine. I can give with everything you’d ever want.”

Alas, he could not keep in his plan any further.
